This folder contains all information necessary to replicate the analyses in: Kollberg, Lauderdale, Wratil (2025). "Winning Votes and Changing Minds:  Do Populist Arguments Affect Candidate Evaluations and Issue Preferences?" BjPolS.The corresponding pre-registration can be accessed via: https://osf.io/u726q/ In the OSF Folder you can also find the questionnaire and additional information on the prompts used in the experiment. These are also included in the online supplemental materials. To replicate the results you will have to:Run the R-script �cleaning_data_300125.R�. This script takes the raw data and produces a cleaned version (�cleaned_experiment_300125.csv�). Run the stata do-file �do_file_final.do� which produces all tables and graphs included in the paper and the online appendix and saves them in the respective folders. Most of the variable naming is pretty intuitive but if something is not clear, there is also the codebook provided by YouGov that contains information on the variables and the respective encoding.
